Yay!! I'm so happy for you :) This means that labor is coming! Woohoo!
And a positive labor story: my first came after 4 hours of hard labor (the 12 hours before that were mild cramping, so I went shopping, out for lunch, took a nap, ate 4 oranges in a row, watched "Father of the Bride" and ate chocolate cookies) and my second only took 2 hours from start to finish. I'm sure that as an expectant mother, you've been bombarded with horrific stories. I just wanted to share my not-so-horrific story. :)
I'm looking forward to reading about your baby's arrival! This is SO exciting! hehehehe!! (I'm a friend of Shiz's by the way)

I know better.
I really do.
When I first saw everyone googling "mucus plug" I resisted, because that is just...wrong.
But when someone tells me NOT to do something, it makes me want to do it more.
I just wish I hadn't been eating scrambled eggs at the time.

I lost my plug 3 weeks before I actually gave birth but I was early. But according to the pictures I've seen of "da belly" and because the kitchen countertops are done, you should be in labor right now right? Yay!! Oh and Ceiba being all territorial about mommy, I believe she knows someone is coming soon, very very soon.

there will be no defcon 5 contractions.
there will be only mild crampings and then little squsihy will pop out easy as can be.
right?
everyone should start concentrating on happy painless birthing images now.
it's the least we can do for amalah.

YAY! After breathing deeply to keep from puking at the site of the words "mucus plug" (nothing personal, I just have mucus/snot=gag issues), I wanted to say YIPEE! This is progress! Here's to hoping that baby is out and about by the end of the week! :)

I don't know what losing the mucus plug entails and I'm not going to Google it because it sounds... squishy and, well, I had my annual this morning and I'm just a bit overwhelmed with pelvic area business.

Don't remember noticing that I "lost" it with my son (who was born on his due date) but I was only 35 weeks along with my daughter when I saw it in the toilet while I was at an Angels playoff game. It freaked me out because I was supposed to be on bed rest. She came two weeks later, but I'm sure that had nothing to do with "when" I lost the plug and more to do with bed rest and Terbutaline.

I started googling for the mucus plug pictures before Peyton posted her warning. No matter, when I saw the words "stringy mucus," "sticky discharge" or (my favorite!) "Can a mucus plug look like a booger?" I realized I was better off not knowing.

You've had some nice restful (perhaps agonizingly so) days. I hear that rested Momalahs have a much easier time with that whole squeezing a human out of their yin yang... so you're in good shape! Many prayers for you and the Babalah.

This is so funny! I've never seen the word "yay" and "mucus plug" so many times. I gave birth 11 days early, lost my plug (I'll just leave that other word out) on Saturday morning and delivered at 6:45 on Sunday night. Surely you won't make it past tomorrow! Congrats on the progress b/c it is progress.

Damn! Shame on you for suggesting we google that image...and shame on me for being THAT bored... I never would've thought to do that without your prompting and now am scarred for life...Eww, gross. I never saw mine w/my son. Now I'm praying I don't see one w/the one due in December either!
